Please don’t judge me
Hello,
This is hard for me to post and I’m asking for no judgement in advance.
When I was younger (between 16-18) I used sunbeds fairly regularly. This was because I had bad eczema and it was the ONLY thing that helped. I burnt a few times. I know now how absolutely awful this was- and I feel awful about it. I looked up on google whether it was too late to help now- and I saw nothing but horror stories.
I’m 25 now and starting to really panic about the effects it has had. I have vowed to wear factor 50 every SINGLE day from now on.
I will never step on a sunbed again! I am looking for some reassurance because i’ve been driving myself mental, hugely hugely anxious and I can’t stop sobbing because I feel like I’m destined for skin cancer. Does anyone know anyone who used to use sun-beds and is okay?
Please don’t comment to tell me how bad it is- because as I’m sure you can tell I know!
Lots of love x
